/	Performs raw System Five system call.
/
/	This function provides a direct path into system call support
/	that's friendly to C code, since it doesn't need an intermediate
/	thunk. It only supports arities up to six, since there's no way
/	to do more safely; this isn't a problem with Linux, although
/	certain BSD calls may not be available.
/
/	@param	%rdi is system call ordinal, which isn't translated,
/		and must be correct for the underlying host system
/	@param	%rsi,%rdx,%rcx,%r8,%r9 may supply parameters 1 through 5
/	@param	sixth is optionally pushed on the stack before call
/	@return	%rax has result, or -1 w/ errno on failure
